Denver homicide detective Cliff Janeway may not always play by the book, but he is an avid collector of rare and first editions. After a local bookscout is killed on his turf his wrathful brand of off-duty justice costs him his badge. His life opens a new chapter when he opens a small bookshop. As he delves further into his city's antiquarian book trade he finds some practitioners display an expertise exceeded only by their greedThen, when prized volumes in a highly sought-after collection begin to appear, so do dead bodies. Now he attempts to find out who's dealing death along with vintage Chandlers and Twains . .
